I was reading sci-fi since before I was ten. All sorts of types. But Arthur C Clarke leaves me cold. I rate all his work between weak and poor. 2001: A Space Odyssey was not even checked before publication - full of inconsistencies.

I really do not know what people see in his work.

And who is the author of this dull drama?

Right, now I've caught up. Did someone leave the drivel tap on again?

Tell me about it.

I have just done some washing up to show willing.

I am now absolutely knackered.

And I was listening to the last ten minutes of that Arthur C Clarke thing. 5 minutes from the end, Her Ladyship comes in to talk at me so the radio got turned off.

I feel like I've wasted 55 minutes of my life when that happens.

I'm tired and cold and hungry but I cannot face anything to eat.

[BrowneIssue]

I wonder if this is beer withdrawal?

[BrowneIssue]

Maybe if I was to force one down, medicinal like, it may help

I've got my DILLIGAF t-shirt on.

[BrowneIssue]

I'm wearing it 'cos it's St David's Day.

I like people to think DILLIGAF is a Welsh word.
